Forner TSO here: Your bag will not look the same in every scan. Depending on the angle the bag is sitting at, and how items "stack" in the image, your bag could look quite different from one scan to the next.

In my experience, playing cards may have looked odd due to the fact that many are plastic-coated paper, which can show up as an odd color on the x-ray. Also, it could have looked suspicious due to an item that was positioned in front/behind it in your bag.

In all seriousness, do you even think that's possible? Social media filled a void that was seriously sought after since the internet came into existence, but wasn't really possible due to logistical reasons. People have always wanted a centralized tool to share information/content. That's why forums and chat clients sprang up almost immediately. Social media seems like the logical conclusion to filling that demand.

In my opinion, social media just needs to be regulated to curb misinformation, and disincentivize the "profits over social well being" mentality we've seen the industry turn to. It's great at connecting people and potentially breaking down barriers, we just need to harness that potential positively.

Most average public schools probably cost 15-20k per yr. It's still a lot, but it's manageable.

Wouldn't it simply increase productivity per hour?

Maybe? But likely not enough to actually impact your salary.
